Quote of the Week:
"In 2003, the world watched Slammer, Sobig and Blaster ravage and
bring down internal networks. Combating today's sophisticated
attack environment requires intelligent, pre-emptive attack
solutions that go beyond protecting the Internet perimeter to
protect an organization's internal network. Such a solution must
be easy-to-manage, capable of segmenting networks into security
zones, provide quarantines, and have good in-line performance."
